General rains during the last few days 

 have improved the situation in the seed 

 trade, both from the point of view of 

 the seed grower and of the seed seller. 



Planting conditions now are the op- 

 posite of what they were a year ago. 

 April of 1909 was a wet month and it 

 affected the selling end of the seed busi- 

 ness, as well as the preparations for the 

 new crop. 



Harry A. Bunyard, 342 West Four- 

 teenth street, New York city, secretary 

 of the National Sweet Pea Society of 

 America, has issued the preliminary 

 schedule for the second annual exhibition 

 of the -society, to be held this summer. 

 Many special prizes are donated by 

 seedsmen. 



The Maryland Agricultural Experi- 

 mental Station, College Park, Md., has is- 

 sued a bulletin. No. 141, descriptive of 

 variety tests, seed breeding and selection 

 with field corns. The record shows the 

 source from which the seed was obtained 

 and includes the names of several well 

 known seed houses. 



Produce handlers assert that .the Ber- 

 muda onions grown in Texas give every 

 indication of driving the original Ber- 

 muda onion from Bermuda out of the 

 markets, even out of the eastern markets 

 where freight is a considerable factor. 

 This year first shipments from Bermuda 

 and from Texas reached New York al- 

 most simultaneously. 



The N. L. Willet Seed Co., of Au- 

 gusta, Ga., has increased its capital 

 stock, the new issue being taken by 

 Neeley Eansom, of Paris, Ky., he pay- 

 ing, it is said, a handsome premium over 

 par for it. Mr. Eansom has been with 

 the Willet concern for nearly a year and 

 his purchase of the stock thoroughly 

 identifies him now with the manage- 

 ment. 



Officlvls of the Burlington railroad 

 are making a campaign in Iowa to induce 

 the farmers to test all of their seed corn 

 before planting it. Kecent extensive 

 tests which have been made by E. G. 

 Holden, of the State Agricultural Col- 

 lege, disclose the fact that fully fifty per 

 cent of the seed corn in Iowa will not 

 germinate, owing to injury which the 

 corn received through frost. 



"We have just had from an inch and 

 a half to two inches of rain, which was 

 very much needed for getting the ground 

 in proper condition for planting beans," 

 wrote F. L. Hogue, of the Hogue-Kellogg 

 Co., Ventura, Cal., March 29. "We have 

 an abundance of moisture now to mature 

 the crop, which will be planted about May 

 1, and everything looks very favorable

The summer weather has brought an 

 unprecedented rush to the seed stores. 

 Mail orders are pouring in from the pro- 

 crastinators and counter trade has leaped 

 into flood tide. It looks as though it 

 would be a short season, and short sea- 

 sons are not liked. 



Advices from lima bean growers re- 

 port a light but beneficial rainfall in the 

 growing districts of southern California 

 during the last week. The total pre- 

 cipitation since January 1 is estimated 

 at one and a half inches, which is much 

 below normal, and while this may help 

 to put the ground into workable condi- 

 tion, a much greater rainfall is needed 

 to assure a good crop. 



FIRE AT TRENTON, N. J. 



Fire destroyed the seed house and cut

 both stores. The loss is estimated at
